On 'When Did You Know?' this week I am joined by Matthew Nouriel. Matthew Nouriel, aka The Empress Mizrahi, is a non-binary digital activist and content creator of Iranian Jewish descent living in Los Angeles, California. In recent years, Matthew has been using their voice to passionately advocate and fight for the causes they believe in - namely LGBTQ+ rights and equality within the Iranian and Jewish communities, and combating antisemitism - using their social media as a means to reach those who relate to their perspective and lived experiences, as well as engaging audiences on panel discussions and speaking engagements across the country. In 2021 they were the recipient of the TrailBlazer Award at the JQ International annual Impact Awards.

Welcome to this bonus episode of When Did You Know? which I am releasing as part of National Inclusion Week 2022! 

This mini episode is a recording of a talk I was invited to deliver online at the University of Brighton in February 2022 as part of their LGBT+ History Month celebrations. They invited me to reflect on the stories shared in my podcast before taking questions from the audience and what follows is an edited recording of that speech to keep you occupied whilst I finish editing season 3 of When did you Know which will be out in a few weeks time.
